It's been eight long years since Will Smith seemingly abandoned his music career full-time for acting. But now, it seems he might be ready to jump right back into his hip hop roots. And you might be surprised at who inspired him to get back in the saddle.

"I’ve been messing around with Kanye, we went in the studio a couple times," Smith told "omg! Insider's" Kevin Frazier in an interview for his new film, "After Earth". "So, I might get the bug. I’m not going to do it unless I’m truly inspired. But, he’s been pushing me a little bit."
